Exclude Files

When using Exclude files, the replication scenario ignores any files that have been filtered out (excluded), and includes all others.

To exclude files

1. On the Master Root Directories dialog, manually select the directories on which you want to apply the filter.

   Note: Alternatively, you can manually select the directories AFTER you enter the filter parameters.

2. Click the Exclude files option button at the top of the Master Root Directories dialog. The Filter box is enabled with an asterisk (*) wildcard.

   Enter the file types you want to exclude in the Filter box using the appropriate filtering characters. For example, exclude all files ending with the extensions *.bat *.dll. Separate the extensions using a space.

   Note: Do NOT use a comma or semi-colon to separate extensions. If a file name includes blanks, enclose the complete file name between quotation marks ("").

3. Click the Apply button to filter the directories you selected according to the filter parameters.

   The excluded files are not displayed on the right area, and the displayed files are the ones that will be replicated.

4. [Optional] You can manually select or clear individual directories and files. This action overrides the Include files option regarding the individual directory or file.
5. Click OK to save your root directory selection and close the Master Root Directories dialog.
